In March, we went on a company/family trip to the Bolivar Peninsula near Galveston. So much fun to be had on the beach!

Proof that Crosby had been to the beach! Needless to say, it was still a little chilly down by the water.

We have a couple of new additions to our homestead family. 20 chicks have hatched and we have about 36 more in the incubator. We lost all our chickens and ducks from last year, but we're getting serious and giving them a better pen this year. Hopefully we will eventually have eggs!

Bees!
Nick is getting into bee keeping. We have one hive he acquired from a log, and he has been learning tons about the whole process of keeping bees.

Unleavened Bread came swiftly as ever this year. We enjoyed a lovely Night to Be Much Observed dinner with family.

Steak! Potatoes! Cheeeese!

More cheeeeese!

Five months!
Wobbly-sitting in the boppy.

In love with the guitar.

We camped at Fort Parker State Park, just outside of Mexia, TX.

They had a lovely nature center at the park. The kids had fun learning about local wildlife.
